Helios is becoming a multichain light client for Ethereum. It has become clear that light clients are fundamental to Ethereum scaling. A future with thousands of rollups doesn’t feel far away, and the closer we get, the more critical rollup interoperability will become. 🧵👇

A few days ago, @samczsun pointed out that @indexcoop's Rari pool 19 was being attacked. While this was indeed an attempted oracle manipulation, the attacker ended up failing miserably and lost 68 ETH. Here's a breakdown of how it went wrong for the attacker:

@NoahCitron and others working on helios are heroes. It's an indispensable part of the ethereum dream that you should be able to access the chain (read and write) without needing to trust centralized third parties. Looking forward to seeing wallets incorporate helios.

The challenge that launched a thousand lines of code and created one of the strangest looking blocks in Ethereum's history. @mg_486662 and I cracked the IAmTheOptimizer challenge, here's how we did it. 1/10

Learn cryptography in public with me! To learn more about the cryptographic primitives we rely on, I'm implementing a few of them in Rust. Each module will have it's own readme explaining how it works and anything I learned along the way.

$DPI is just 9k $COMP and 500k $UNI away from being able to make governance proposals on its own. @indexcoop is rapidly becoming one of the most influential voters in the entire DeFi ecosystem.

A 1000 ETH buy of $DPI on @Uniswap V3 executes at just 3% slippage compared to 23% on V2. Both pools have nearly identical TVL. The fact that protocols are still doing LM on V2 is astounding to me.
